Question
The compound, diborane is used as rocket fuel. The equation
for the combustion of diborane is shown below.
B₂H₁ (g) + 302 (g) → B₂O3 (s) + 3H₂O (1)
Calculate the enthalpy of combustion of diborane (B₂H) in
kJ/mol using the following data.
2B (s) + 3H₂(g) → B₂H₁ (g) AH = 36 kJ/mol
H₂ (g) + 2O2 (g) → H₂O (1) AH = -286 kJ/mol
2B (s) + 1/20 2(g) → B₂O3 (s) AH = -1274 kJ/mol
Select one:
O a. 2168 kJ/mol
O b. -1274 kJ/mol
c. -2168 kJ/mol
d. -36 kJ/mol
